Chapter 28: Meet the Oriental Boss
In fact, Chen Jie has been studying legal books for a long time, and in his memory, Zhao Yuzhi's later husband Huang Jinshen helped Zhao Yuzhi win the case to win the case before he got a beauty, and it seems that he also took the lawyer's license for this. Chen Jie himself is definitely a hundred times stronger than Huang Jinshen with his unforgettable ability, coupled with the experience of more than ten lifetimes in his memory. In that case, it is not appropriate for people to take advantage of the loopholes. Finally, three days before the final exam of the wireless artist training class, Chen Jie successfully obtained a lawyer's license.
Zhao Yuzhi snatched the small notebook in Chen Jie's hand in surprise, and read it several times before asking, "Ajie, when did you get your lawyer's license?" ”
"It didn't take long to get it." Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Applejack, how did you think of relying on a lawyer's license!" Zhao Yuzhi asked curiously.
"Sister Enzhi, do you want to hear the truth or lie?" Chen Jie hesitated and asked.
Zhao Yuzhi glanced at Chen Jie and said, "What do you say?" ”
"Then let's be honest, in fact, after I found out that I fell in love with Sister Zhi, I have been looking forward to your divorce one day, so that I can have a chance! I also think of Sister Zhi, you will never give up Hongzai and Yizai, they are so cute. Therefore, I also thought that Mr. Huang might compete with you for Hong Tsai and Yi Tsai. I thought that in order to help Sister Zhi, I started to study law books, and I only got my lawyer's license a few days ago! Even if I can't help Sister Zhi in the end, it's nothing, and I can go to court by myself in a lawsuit with someone in the future! Chen Jie said with a smile.
Zhao Yuzhi looked at Chen Jie in shock, you must know that the lawyer's license is not something that can be taken by simply flipping through the book, on the contrary, it is difficult to take the exam. Unexpectedly, Chen Jie actually got his lawyer's license just to have a chance to help him. Zhao Yuzhi was not only surprised by Chen Jie's talent, but also moved by Chen Jie's somewhat stupid behavior.
"Applejack." Zhao Yuzhi looked at Chen Jie affectionately.
"Sister Zhi, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I will face them with you." Chen Jie also looked at Zhao Yuzhi affectionately.
The lips of the two did not know when they touched each other, and kissed each other affectionately.
At this time, something happened that made Chen Jie very depressed. Chen Jie's pager rang.
The voice brought the two of them back to their senses, and Zhao Yuzhi sat on the sofa with a flushed face and lowered her head. Chen Jie took out the pager and really wanted to smash it directly. But I was afraid that something would really happen, so after looking at the pager, I said to Zhao Yuzhi, "Sister Zhi, I'll call you back!" ”
Zhao Yuzhi nodded, and Chen Jie picked up the phone and called the other party.
"Hello, I'm the owner of ***, who are you?" Chen Jie said.
"Hello, I'm Ma Chengkun, the owner of Oriental Daily, are you the author of "****************"!" The voice of a mature man came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm Xingtian, Boss Ma called me and it seems that he has taken a fancy to my "****************". Chen Jie said.
"That's right, I'm really interested in this novel, I don't know if Your Excellency has time, I want to invite Your Excellency to have afternoon tea with me and talk about cooperation by the way." Ma Chengkun said.
Chen Jie really didn't want to go, it was rare to show his heart to Zhao Yuzhi, he really didn't want to leave Zhao Yuzhi at this time, but Zhao Yuzhi's phone was very loud. Zhao Yuzhi heard the content of the phone call and motioned for Chen Jie to agree, but Chen Jie had no choice but to agree. "In that case, then I'll take advantage of Boss Ma." Chen Jie said.
Ma Chengkun smiled when he heard Chen Jie say this, and said, "Okay, then it's two o'clock at the Peninsula Hotel, I'll wait for my brother." ”
"I'll see you later." Chen Jiewan hung up the phone.
"Sister Zhi, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore." Chen Jie said apologetically after putting down the phone.
"It's okay Applejack, it's important to get down to business. Establishing a good relationship with Oriental Daily is good for future development. Zhao Yuzhi explained Chen Jie and said.
Chen Jie looked at the time and knew that it would be too late if he didn't leave, so after saying goodbye to Zhao Yuzhi, he stopped a taxi and came to the Peninsula Hotel.
Chen Jie came to the Peninsula Hotel and told the waiter about his appointment with Ma Chengkun, and the waiter led Chen Jie to the place where Ma Chengkun was.
"You are?" When Ma Chenkun saw Chen Jie and the waiter coming over, he never thought that this young man was Xingtian, the author of "How Bad Belts Are Made".
Chen Jie also looked at Ma Chengkun, Ma Chengkun looked in his 40s and was very burly.
"Hello Boss Ma, my name is Chen Jie, and I am Xingtian, the author of "How Bad Belts Are Made". Chen Jie said.
Ma Chengkun was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Jie's words, then hurriedly stood up, held Chen Jie's hand and said, "Hello Mr. Chen, your writing is very wonderful, frankly speaking, I am your book fan." ”
"Boss Ma just calls me Applejack." Chen Jie said.
"Then you're welcome, Applejack sit down and we'll talk slowly."
After Chen Jie sat down, he ordered a refreshment and chatted with Ma Chengkun.
"Boss Ma, I'm curious, why didn't the editor of your Oriental Daily contact me, but you, the big boss, contacted me personally." Chen Jie said.
"Normally, the publication of a novel should indeed be the responsibility of the editor. But I accidentally read this novel of yours yesterday, and you may not believe it, but I didn't sleep all night yesterday in order to read your manuscript. Didn't I just make up for it, and I asked for your contact information and asked you out. First, I will talk to you about cooperation. Second, I also want to ask if you still have a manuscript! I wanted a sneak peek. Ma Chengkun said.
"I've finished "How Bad Guys Are Made", and I'm ready to hand it over to you to serialize. But I guess let's talk about the manuscript fee first! Chen Jie said.
"Yes, but I have a question for Applejack before I do." Ma Chengkun said.
"Boss Ma, please speak." Chen Jie said.
"I know that the author of the novel "Swordsman Love" that Ming Pao is serializing is also called Xingtian, I don't know if it has anything to do with Ajie?" Ma Chengkun asked.
"'Swordsman Love' was the first novel I wrote." Chen Jie said.
"Oh, in that case, why didn't Ajie cooperate with Ming Pao for this novel, but cooperated with our Oriental Daily?" Ma Chengkun asked.
"There are two reasons for cooperating with your newspaper, the first is that the content of the novel "How the Bad Belt is Made" is a bit extreme, and Ming Pao will not necessarily publish it, while Oriental Daily is different. The second is that Ming Pao is too stingy. Chen Jie said.
"Hehe, Ming Pao is notoriously stingy, but I'm still curious how much they paid you in the first place?" Ma Chengkun said with a smile.
"The editor of Ming Pao said that I was a newcomer and only gave me a manuscript fee of 50 per thousand words, and the total number of words in "Swordsman Love" was only more than 200,000 words, and Ming Pao only paid more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars." Chen Jie said.
"50 words in a thousand words!" Ma Chengkun said in surprise: "Ming Pao is really stingy enough. Ajie, don't worry, we at Oriental Daily will never be so stingy, so I'll give you a manuscript fee of 300 per thousand words for your "How the Bad Guy Works", which is a little higher than Ni Kuang's manuscript fee, and it can be regarded as a breath of relief for you. ”
You must know that at this time, Ni Kuang's manuscript fee for serialization in Ming Pao was only 260 per thousand words, and Ma Chengkun's manuscript fee of 300 per thousand words for Chen Jie is definitely the highest in Hong Kong now. Ma Chengkun did this because he wanted to have a good relationship with Chen Jie, so that Chen Jie's novels would cooperate with him in the future. Second, I also want to be disgusted by Ming Pao.
"Boss Ma is so generous, I can't be stingy, my "How the Bad Guy Practiced" is about 1.2 million words. Even if it's an integer of 1 million words, it's fine. Chen Jie said.
"In that case, I won't be polite to Ajie anymore, if you need my brother's help in the future, just ask!" Ma Chengkun said.
"Then thank you Boss Ma in advance." Chen Jie said politely.
"Don't always be boss Ma, boss Ma, call Brother Kun for face." Ma Chengkun said.
The two chatted for a while, Ma Chengkun called someone to send the contract, and after Chen Jie signed it, Ma Chengkun gave you a check of 300,000 yuan like Chen Jie. dragged Chen Jie to his house to pick up the remaining manuscript of "How the Bad Guy Practiced".
